Rubio PAC gives donors water bottles

A PAC backing Sen. Marco Rubio is offering water bottles to donors, a lighthearted move that comes after the Florida senator took flack for swigging some water during his response to the State of the Union last week.

“If you donate $25 or more today, we’ll send you a Marco Rubio water bottle,” reads a message from Reclaim America PAC. “Send the liberal detractors a message that not only does Marco Rubio inspire you…he hydrates you too.”

As POLITICO Playbook reported on Monday, the group has sold upwards of 4,000 water bottles, raking in more than $100,000 through the promotion, which launched last Wednesday.

Twitter had a field day during Rubio’s response as the site exploded with jokes about the Republican’s awkward sipping. Minutes after the speech, Rubio showed some humor of his own, tweeting a picture of a water bottle from his account.

The water bottles are set to ship this week, POLITICO’s Mike Allen reported.
